ti it was mine...I would just make holes in those locations and use a bolt and washers( big ones ) and a nut ....which may require removing bumper cover....but u don't want to loose this at speed....its a nice lip

I took my bumper off and drilled 3 holes in my bumper to align with the 3 big holes in the front part of the lip. Then you you need to drill 2 smaller holes to the left and right of each big hole in the bumper to attach the metal bracket shown in diagram #2 of the first pic you posted.

Also, I would recommend taping off around where the edge of the TOMS lip will be. The edges of the lip are pretty sharp, and as you're test fitting/installing, may scratch your paint.

The centre bracket however, took me probably an hour, because space is tight. Also, if you have the headlight washers, watch out for the supply hose that runs along where you'll be drilling.
